How To Make Alcohol Ink

Difficulty: Easy If you work with alcohol ink as your medium or as a dye for resin you know how expensive this staple can be. Here is a super easy and inexpensive way to make your own alcohol ink. This technique works with dried out permanent markers too (the alcohol reactivates the pigment) score! Hooray! You can finally do something with that shoebox full of half-dead markers you refuse to throw away, because this is what you were saving them for! What you need: • Bottle of 91% isopropyl alcohol • Permanent marker • Utility scissors • Small cups (beer pong cups work great). • Pipettes (basically an elongated eye-dropper). • Stir stick (anything long and skinny enough to fit through a straw). • Gloves #alcoholink
